Stanley Tools is embarking on its biggest launch programme for many years which will include a new range of hand tools which have been specifically designed for the pro user.
Research findings also highlighted that 38% of respondents would make a purchasing decision based on the durability of the chisel and 21% of respondents stated that it must have a strike cap.
As a result of this research, Stanley has launched a new FatMax chisel with a superior thru tang design, making the handle 50% stronger than its predecessor, the Dynagrip Pro.
The steel strike cap can be used with a steel hammer for increased strength at point of contact and an ergonomic soft grip handle offers maximum grip and control.
The blade is constructed from ball bearing grade quality chrome alloy which provides superior edge retention and for added safety, the chisel comes with a full blade guard.
The new upgraded DynaGrip Wood Chisel also comes with a strike cap, ready made for abuse on site and comes pre-sharpened - ready for immediate use.
There are 18 blades widths available, as well as 3 or 5 piece sets.
